TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can do a visa run to Malaysia from Thailand. You can enter Malaysia without a visa if you're from the UK, allowing you to return to Thailand afterward. You can either fly in and out or do a land border crossing, as you'll receive a 30-day visa exemption stamp upon entry to Malaysia.

You can fly in/out as many times as you want...you can also do a land border crossing with Malaysia....no visa entry for a 30 day visa exemption stamp

Coming by sea means U use land border checkpoint, so it counts towards the 2 times a calendar year.

as long as there is a immigration post there for sure...even though I do t know if that will be counted as a land crossing as it’s a water port...let me know because that might be the grey area...
